File uploading
Hi guys, in this article we are going to understand how to upload a file
with the help of PHP. For this purpose you must install a XAMPP server.
Uploading a file from the form is really a good concept to have with your web
application.
Let us see how we can create a form for loading up a file, so firstly we require
a design part using HTML The following is the script :
HTML script
<html>
<body
bgcolor="pink">
<center>
<h3>
FILE UPLOADING
</h3>
<hr>
<form
action="fileupload.php"
method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label
for="file">Filename:</label>
<input
type="file"
name="file"
id="file"
/>
<br
/>
<input
type="submit"
name="submit"
value="Submit"
/>
</form>
</center>
</body>
</html>
Save it as fileupload.html !
